About
ABOUT EXPRESSIONS OF THE BLUES

Expressions of the Blues is a collection of painted portraits of Blues, R&B, Soul and Gospel musicians. The artists I’ve chosen to paint are people whose music and story truly inspire me. I have seen many of them perform which has given me the opportunity to photograph and video them. I have been lucky to share conversations, friendships and a common love for the Blues with some of these artists. I am trying to create an emotion in these paintings. I want the audience to really get the feel of the artist in the piece through the brush strokes, color, expressions in their eyes and on their faces. Please take the time to check out these Blues artists and experience their inspiration.

CAROL BOSS

Carol Boss, born and raised in a small town in south-central Missouri, has been a St. Louis resident since 1995. In 2016, a series of events inspired her to take some time away from her successful graphics business and managing Big George Brock to focus on painting a Hope Series, then soon after Expressions of the Blues, a collection of painted portraits of Blues, R&B, Soul and Gospel musicians. The artists she chose to paint are people whose music and story truly inspire Carol. She is also known for larger painting projects such as the musician wall mural at Hwy 61 Roadhouse in Webster Groves as well as Big George Brock’s Blues Bus. Carol has always had a profound passion for painting and music, and she often combines the two. Influenced by Toulouse-Lautrec and Van Gogh’s vibrant use of color and harsh brush strokes, Carol’s painting style is typically realistic in shape with bright accents of color. Her paintings often tell a story. Currently, most of Carol’s time is spent with her family, making art, seeing music and working as a digital artist/retoucher.

When asked about her art she simply says, “I’m a painter.”
